Can't find lnd.cert

You probably need to generate the lnd.cert file using the instructions available here:

Hi, thanks for using the lnd web client. The lnd.cert file is generated by the lnd daemon. You should probably find it in the .lnd directory or in the corresponding AppData folder on Windows. You need to start lnd at least once to generate the lnd.cert file.

I am having the same issue. Both me and my colleague are trying to get this client up. LND is running on the desired ports, but no such file exists in any directory on the machine. At a loss to figure out what to do next, there is very little in the way of documentation regarding the cert file.

fs.js:641
  return binding.open(pathModule._makeLong(path), stringToFlags(flags), mode);
                 ^

@mably I am facing issue in Ubuntu 16. I cant find lnd folder. As per docs, its should be located in ~/.lnd but no folder exists there.

[mably]

@ianrussel you must start lnd once for the .lnd directory to be created.

@mably yeah already fixed the issue by manually installing lnd
